Mentor Life Is Back
Every day since February 24 I have done everything I could for my family to be safe...at the time it was hard for me to realize how far this would go. After that there was not a single quiet night in Ukraine that passed in silence. We were surviving, we were doing everything we could to stay alive. Many of us didn't want to leave, to leave our homes, our land, but most of us had to do it...because we had lost our homes. In the middle of March, I lost two houses. The place where I lived, grew up, and dreamed turned into tears for my mother and grandmother. We stayed on our land even though our houses were no longer there. In early May my mother was wounded in the arm by a mine fragment...we were preparing for the worst because she had lost a lot of blood, but thanks to the military who took her to Dnipropetrovsk region and our doctors they were able to do everything possible to have her arm fully functional. The next time I will see my mom will be in 4 months. We were left alone with my grandmother. It was a hard time but as I wrote earlier I didn't doubt myself for a second. I prayed for my mom, for my country, and when I had a chance I always thought about my game. I couldn't let my family down and I couldn't let my game down (yes, I treat it like something alive). It may seem strange to you that at a time like this he is thinking about a game...but the point is that through this game I found my meaning in life. In the evening when I had the chance I wrote in a notebook script for version 0.4+, my laptop I buried so no one would steal it or take it away. Protecting the laptop was a challenge for me...but I did my best. In the evening we lit candles and had dinner with my grandmother. She told me a lot about my mother and about herself. When else would I have learned about it if not in moments like these? In all of this, we also found our good moments. In separating the good and bad moments I realized how unique life is and now it speaks the only language to me. It explained to me that I won't always get what I want. Sometimes I just need time and always remember it by putting it somewhere close to my heart and then at a certain point it will do what you want. I'll never forget that moment and the words that a close friend said to me: "Do you still want it?" - "Yes! Of course!", - "Okay, then, listen...". After that, three days later, I was in a European country. Yes, guys, I did it...no, we did it! I know many of you were worried about me and my family, writing to me and supporting me. Thanks to everyone who played my game and cheered me on the whole time. I will be adding the name of every patron who supported me $3+ on all club boards for the upcoming updates. To each patron who supported $10+ I will take all the promised custom photos. I will text each of you for details. This will take some time because right now I'm in focus for the 0.4 version release. I hope for your understanding. And lastly, I want to make it clear. We Ukrainians did not want all of this. Millions of people left Ukraine not of their own free will and now all these people are refugees in foreign countries that have welcomed them. We wake up every morning and read the news and hope that very soon we will be able to return home to our own land and there will be no more war. In the meantime, we need to adapt to the new realities of life. Learn a new language, get a job, help people like you and pray for our Ukraine.
I don't know exactly when there will be an update. I need to register with the police, the Red Cross, employment office, and a lot of stuff for refugees. But I'll work on the game every day.
Always in touch with you, BRdsky.
